This is a remodel done for a home in Tempe, Arizona, along with an additional dwelling unit (ADU). The pictures above show the floor plan, the site plan, demolition plan, as well as multiple elevations, perspectives and sample choices.
This was my first time taking on such a large project, and redesigning and remodeling in actual home. I found the whole thing to be really overwhelming and rewarding at the same time.
I thought I was successful in making a home that was wheelchair accessible. I did it with help from sources, talking with a contractor and also by doing some wheelchairing myself. All of this combined knowledge was applied to the space.
I learned many things from this remodel. I learned about new sustainable building materials, sustainable and recycled materials for the home, along with wheelchair accessibility. I also learned that a project like this has many steps, and it is important to always keep the concept in the back of my mind along the way. It is also important to stay on track, and to push myself so that I don't fall behind.
For more projects down the road, I want to try and explore as many ideas as possible. I am really good at scribbling out a few ideas and then only using one or two of them. Sometimes I just throw some out just because I "think" they are bad. However, in this project, one of my ideas, that I originally thought was too boring, actually turned out to influence most of the layout of the floor plan. I am really going to work on trying out a variety of things in future designs.
